Users say:
This Celestron 5 incher is a great buy for beginners and experienced users alike, offering a compact large aperture format, easy alignment, and a variety of features. It is also lightweight and portable, making it ideal for quick looks between clouds or to take on a trip. The optical quality is better than expected, and the included eyepeices are of high quality. However, the red dot calibration can be wonky if not used in a light polluted area.
